Earthquaker Dream Crusher

This is a bare bones (especially if you look at the pedal art) no-nonsense fuzz pedal. We could not put it any better than Earthquaker did on their website: “There are two simple controls: Fuzz and Level. Fuzz Controls how sweet you want to sound and Level controls how much you want other people to hear how sweet you sound.”

HornFX Review

Versatility: 2/5Keeping in mind that this is a fuzz pedal, it can produce a nice range of aggressive tones.

Tonal Reproduction: 4/5The pedal is on the brighter side. This doesn’t manifest harshly, rather it gives nice clarity and integrity to the sound, while retaining your tone quite well.

Complexity: Simple

Live application: 4/5This is a wonderful live fuzz pedal. The pedal’s tonal clarity is a huge positive as is its simplicity.

Power

Our pedals take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. Do not run at higher voltages!
